How long until AMD leaves the enthusiast PC market?

Bulldozer will be the last enthusiast architecture from AMD from the looks of things. They already announced that they are moving away from that market to focus on mobile/low end. The last revision of the architecture is planned for 2015 and after that I don't see them developing a new architecture for high end. Their next architecture will be 100% focused on low power if they last that long.

I am not sure where you got 300w from tho the high end AMD FX-8350 has a TDP of 125W. Tho Intel do still crush them in that regard.

That came out a little off buthere is what i meant. Total system consumption for overclocked AMD machine without GPU is more than Intel total consumption plus any gpu at light load...

Yea Bulldozer is a shit show in terms of performance per watt, sadly AMD seem to be stuck with it for a long time.

And Haswell will probably kill AMD in the low end market as well. Especially as it will bring Intels GPUs in line with AMD's APUs.
